NEW YORK, Oct. 21st, 1876.
GENERAL ACTIVITY.
' ‘his middle of October brings with it even
more than a fulfillment of the promise of ac-
tivity given at the commencement of the fall
season. New York seems like a strong man
refreshed by sleep; :01 the lassitnde and ion.
guor of the mid-summer season is passed,and
the tide of life throbs through the great arte-
ry, Broadway, and swells into the intricate
network of tortuous streets in the lower part
of the city, with a forca and volume that
shows the country is once more arousing it-
self for a renewal of its career of boundless
activity. For three years it has rested, re-
cuperating from the unlisual activity Of the
years preceding the-W5 business men have
‘ ' V " had them pulled off.
their backsdiy the sherifiror have so adjusted
them that their weight' is not so onerous,
hindrances to progress generally have been
removed in one way or another—voluntarily
or involuntarily—pleasantly or otherwise, and
now every. one feas"likc starting the race
anew, with increased vigor, and guided into
smoother paths by the experience they have
passed through. . .

If there is nothing elstr'to rc-assure us, it
would "seem was as if “the wonderful flow of
gold‘from Europétb hulls" country" "would be
amply suffiici'e'nt to'nnse'rnepieasantesrmpes
upon. There is hardly a steamer that has
left Liverpool of late but has brought a goodfl
1y burthen of the yellow dross, which serves
as the sinews of commerce on every shore.
No beggarly amounts, either; “ a king's ran-
som," which is the usual term for a great lot
of money, would hardly adequately express
the size of the sums that are shipped Over
here. For instance, the Germanic is on her
way here with about three million dollars, in
good hard AmeriOan eagles," a pile of money
' self big enough’to‘ ransom all the kings
ientioned in Froissart’s Chronicles.

cal economy for your readers to investigate.
THE ELECTION NEws
has been the all absorbing topic this week.
No election since the War has, awakened such
intense interest as this affair. :of the two out-
posts of two great parties ’i'rriIiidiana and
Ohio. New Yorkers did net turn from busi-
ness, it is true,‘t'o watch the r'etiiihS and spec-
ulate as to the results; a ‘thOiough-going
New Yorker would not suffer any‘event short
of the final dissolution of all things to dis-
tract his attention from his ledger or order-
book; but out of business-hours,”the interest
displayed by him was-i'iniliiia'l '— Newspaper
ofiices, club rooms, hotels,‘po'litical headquar-
ters, and all places where news was likely to
be had, were continually throng'e‘d by .large
crowds, who devoured every scrap of infor-
mation in the successive dispatches, with the
avidity of n 3011001. of blue-fish after a'hand-
ml of ship biscuit. As usual, the ‘democrats
were noisy, hluffy and arrogant, and claimed
everything as a glorious victory.‘ They al—
ways remind me of a friend of mine with
whom I frequently:played,the sinful game-of
Old Sledge. At the 'COnclusion of eaCh hand,
he would remark With calm confidence,
“ Well, I made high, low, jack and the
game,"_aud then I would set to work and.
argue him out of all the points I had happen-
ed to make. There is one advantage about this
mode of procedure, it gives the one practi-
cing it the best show for the doubtful points.
ovum EATING.
The increase of this vice among the ladies .
of this city is attraCting, ‘ge‘n‘eral attention
among those in a position to know anything
of the facts. Notice was first called to the
matter by a well “QWCMY correspondent,
who made, what appearadat that time, to be
rather sweeping assértioris; but which have
been sustained by latqu‘figttelopments. The
evil has spread more widcl .' ng the classes
of rather superior sochil’: pdhition, and any
number of ladies of thehighest respectabili-
ty and moving in the most» select circles are
said to be victims _of the pernicious habit.
Women 015,11“; matching who mastiti-
cial stimulants, still cling to the'old alcoholic
methods'of'bé’ei'hhd'fijfififiifi‘ ‘ " '
arms 1.1.1.... .-. .
beside which alcoholic stimulahts, bad as
their eiIectsSare—are comparativa mild and
harmless. _ The man or woman who once he-
comes a victim to its insidious wiles, is as fa-
tally bound in its degrading chains as were
those subjects of the middle age myths who
had sold their souls to Satan. Release from
the bondage is infinitely more difficult than
breaking off the servitude to Alcohol, and all
its effects upon the body and mind of the vic-
tim are proportionately exaggerated. The
spread of the evil seems to call for active
measures of repression, but what those meas-
ures shall be puzzles all those who have ap-
proached the matter. Nothing will avail but
the general arousing of the public conscience
A SPECIMEN DEBAUCEEE.
Speaking of opium eating reminds me that
as I was turning the corner of Broadway and
Tenth streets lately, I saw a woman in rags
and tatters, with a bloated and pimpled face,
and bearing on her person evidence of a long
struggle withsin, which had resulted—as it
always does—in sin’s triump. Such women
are nature, but this one had a pcculiarinter-
est to me. I knew that girl fourteen years
ago, at Findlay,0hio. She was the prettiest,
sweetest, most charming girl of eighteen I
ever knew, and queene‘d it royally over the
hearts of the young men of that little city.
She could have married the most eligible man
there had she "so wished, but she had an am-
bition above any sphere that region afforded,
and went to'New York to seek her fortune.
Her first essay was in literature, in which she
met with but indifferent success. She then
went upon the stage, for which her face and
figure gave her certain advantages, But she
wearicd of the narrow and toilsomc path—
that is the only avenue to enduring histrionic
fame, and essayed to reach it by the danger-
ous short-cut of managerial. favoritism, mer-
chandizing her personal charms to that end.
She failed, as all other women do who rely
upon such meretricious means of securing
advancement, and this is the moral of her
story. What little artistic prominence slic
gained was very ephemeral, ‘and when it left
her she fell, never to rise again.
Her great ambition was her destruction, or
rather its misdirection was, and when she saw
her hopes forever blasted, she gave herself up
to dissipation. She contracted the habit of
opium-eating, and thc' shunned, grewsome
caricature of womanhood that passed me is
the painful wreck of the gifted, lovable be-
ing, whomafcw short years ago, was the
pride of her city.
A JOURNALIST GONE.
Journalism in this city has suffercrcd a
heavy loss in the death of John Fitch Cleve-
land, a bzoljher-‘in-law of Horace Greeley, and
and an attacliee of the Triwno during nearly
the whole Of its history. He and Greeley
were boys together, and their families were
intimate. He learned the printing business
about the same time Greeley did, and uniting
his fortunes with those of the Tribune, he
became successively its Albany correspond-
ent, editor of the semi-weekly and weekly
editions, news editor, and finally financial
cditor,which position he occupied at the time.
of his death. His duty was to write the
daily reports of the stock markas, and a dis-
cussion of the operations on Wall street, an
onerous ‘duty, requiring unusual honesty and
inflexibility of purpose, but which be dis-
charged to the satisfaction of all. He was a
man of great good sense, acute of judg-
ment, and a writer of much force.
The best evidence of his careful conscien-
tiousncss of work, is the "‘Tribunc Alma-
nae," of which he was editor, and which is
the most universally recognized authority on
political data in the United States. In 1846
he was married to Miss Esther Greeley, Hor-
ace’s favorite sister, and the gifted Margaret
Fuller was one of the bridesmaids. He
leaves a wife and two daughters. One of the
latter gives evidence of possessing unusual
literary ability, and is the authoress of a
charming book, “ A Summer at Chautaqua.”
. ‘ AMUSEMENTS.
Theodore Thomas is giving some severely
classical perfcrmances in Steinway Hall,
which are but meagerly attended, however.
A specimen of the subjects treated by him is
the symphonic poem of Phreton, given with
great care, one night last week. It treats of
the old myth of Phaeton, his attempt to drive
his father Phoebus’ chariot, and his destruc-
tion by Jupiter. The preparations Of the
youth for the ride and the impatience of the
sun-horses, are described in a maestoso, an al-
.legro shows the start—the rhythm Of the
horses’ hoofs and the rolling wheels; then the
horses become restive, the youth loses con-
trol of them, they rush toward the earth and
threaten it with destruction; the clai'ionet
plaintively expresses the terror of the earth's
inhabitants, then the orchestra bursts forth in
a volume of sound to express the bursting of
fJove’s thunderbolts that dash the temerarious
boyt o the earth, and a plaintive descriptive
passage of unusual beauty tells of his sad fate.
Miss Morris is meeting with great success
in Brooklyn, in her delineation of Constance,
in the melodrama of “ Conscience."
Miss Neilson is expected he\re on the 24th
or 25th, from England, but will make her
first appearance at Philadelphi on the 30th.
All the theaters are taking hurt from the
cheering business outlook, and are preparing
fOr a profitable winter campaign, in which
some unusually good entertainments will be
produced. PIETno.

Gov. Tildcn’s Fate.
The fate Of Gov. Tilden hangs upon the
will of three men, If they are pleased to
agree that he may be elected President, he
will have a chance of election. If they are
pleased not to agree, he can have but little
more hope than Peter Cooper. The three
men who hold the fate of the “ reformer”
and of the “reform” campaign in their hands
are John Kelly, John Morrissey, and James
O’Brien—“reformers” all. They hold it in
this way: Gov. Tilden has no hope of suc-
cess without the vote of New York State;
he cannot secure the vote of that State with-
out a large majority in New York City; he
cannot get any majory in New York City un-
less John Kelly, John Morrissey', and James
O’Brien agree to give it to him. That is the
whole situation. These men realize it fully;
Tilden, and they are not the kind of men to '
be modest about doing it. On their hands
rests the “reform” issue, and nice clean hands
they are, as everybody knows.
There has been a good deal of talk about
Gov. Haycs’s supposed inability to stand up
against the influences of bad men in his party.
We are continually told that the worst men in
the Republican party are working hardest for
his election, and that he cannot throw off their
claims if he is disposed to do it. We are told
that on account of these things there can be
little hope of civil service reform from him.
Now take a look at the other side, treating
the whole question as it were (as in fact it is
very far from being) merely a choice of evils.
What prospect would there be for civil ser-
vice reform from an administration which
owes its power to Messrs. Kelly, Morrissey,
and O’Brien? It is impossible to escape the
conclusion that those men hold the issue of the
Democratic campaign entirely in their hands;
it is equally impossible to deny that they
know their power and will demand its price,
and that their price will be patronage and
spoils. Imagine one of these men Collector
of the Port of New York, and another Post-
master. It is folly to talk about “ reform”
in the face of such a situation. Gov. Hayes
is a free man compared with Gov. Tilden.
Republican success hangs on no one State, or
on no set of men. It depends upon a re-uni-
ted and an already purified party. Gov. Til-
den has been in the power of these men to
some extent before, but he has never cast
them off. A word from him after John Kel-
ly’s defeat in this city a year ago, would have
put that politician out of sight forever, but
he did not utter it. They do not like him,
they would rejoice in his defeat, and they
will not let him succeed without paying dear-
ly for the privilege. This is the democratic
outlook for reform! This is the meaning of
a democratic “ change !” How does the inde-
pendent and doubting voter like the prospect?
—Tribune.
Good Work of the Connecticut
“Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion.”
Those who have not locked into the matter
carefully have little idea of the great benefit
conferred upon the State by the Agricultural
Experiment Station. The small appropria-
tion of $2,800 has already probably saved to
our cultivators many tens of thousands of
dollars. Connecticut was formerly flooded
with inferior and fraudulent fertilizers, com
mended and sold as “the best}! Now manu~
facturers, agents, and dealers in such articles
give this state a “wide berth." Take an ill-
ustration : A New Jersey concern sent a
plausible agent here with a fertilizer, com-
mended in the highest terms, pronounced
cheap at $60 per ton, but it was sold “for
introduction” at $55. The Experiment Sta-
tion got hold of some samples, and after
careful analysis found it worth at best only
$8 per ten 1 The sale was stopped, and those
who had not already done so have not paid
for that delivered. Many other inferior
articles have in like manner received notice
to “quit the state” and-have done so. Far-
mers can now get what they need and have
confidence that in making purchases they are
not throwing their money away. This con-
fidence extends the sale of good fertilizers to
the manifest advantage of the whole State,
as the general production of crops is thus
largely increased. '
One Of the longest things about “Long"
John Wentworth of Chicago is his memory.
His recent speech was made up largely of
recollections told in his dry and interesting
manner, and among them wasthe following:
“There are some bold men, talkative men,
who say lNo,’ You go away, and you say,
‘Wait till he cools off and I 'will try him
again.“ But when you see a man that is
mild, and he says no, you generally think he
means it. Oh, yes. Now Hayes is just one
of that kind of men. Somebody came into
my office the other day, and wanted to look
up his record. He said : ‘Wentworth,
didn't you support that Northren Pacific
railroad steals -?’ I know what you are after-
You are hunting up something about Hayes,
Whenever there was a stea
in congress we said, “Hayes joins With us to
fight it," and not one of those railroad jobs
ever got his vote.
It begins to look as if. theDemocratic can-
didate for a Reform President were an uncom-
monly thrlfty, not to ‘say avaricioiis person.
It is well known that he has a fine mansion in
a fashionable part of New York, the furniture
for which, or that part of it bought of Pottier
d: Stymus, cost $4,324.75—la very pretty fig-
ure for a bachelor. Being a millionaire, Mr.
Tilden has a right to spend his money in this
way if he chooses; but it seems that the up-
holsterers found it difficult to induce him to
pay for these luxuries, rind after he had doled
out the cash to them for two years he ceased
altogether,leaving a balance of $824.75, This
he put off on one pretext or another till the
patience of his creditors was exhausted, and
in October, 1874, they brought suit to recover
the amount. Mr. Tilden is a very smart man.
He is a lawyer, he is. When the case came to
trial Mr. Tilden sent an attorney, Mr. Chas.
F. McLean, into courtinstructed to make an-
swer that the claim was outlawed by the stat-
ute of limitations 1 He made no defense on
the merits, but as his creditors had trusted
him too long to save their legal rights, the
great reformer just tripped up their heels and
walked out of court snapping his fingers in
their faces, so to speak. The feat did not re-
quire any false swearing; but it is not every
millionaire who has the assurance to cheathis
tradesman by pleading the statute of limita-
tations and then setting up for a high-toned
reformer. —Hartford Post.
Tilden is said to look uneasy when any of
his friends speak of the incom—ing adminis-
tration.
“Hell Gate" is a corruption of the old
Dutch name 110er Call, “whirl passage," or
“ whirlpool strait.” .
In our judgment it would have been bet-
ter to let the solid south get away with a
third of the Union 15 years ago, than to let
it get away with the whole of it now.—St.Paul

A Teutonic resident of Hebron, having
been told that kerosene barrels could be
cleansed by fire, purchased two for cider, and
applied a torch to the bunghole. The air
was full of fire for a few moments. and quick
work was required to save the cider mill.
